Background: The aim of the present study was to find the effects of cadmium (Cd) on Japanese quail on the role of an animal model in order to understand the toxicity of Cd in creatures presented, within the environment. Methods: One hundred 30-day-old male Japanese quails were equally divided into the control group and Cd group. The control group received no Cd while the Cd group was given f...

brachiocephalic arteries in quails are large arteries which are arising separately from the aortic arch. the aim of the present study was to determine the histomorphometric aspects of brachiocephalic arteries in the japanese quail. the different layers of the brachiocephalic artery were studied quantitatively in 10, 20 and 60 days-old japanese quail; (n = 6) and both sexes. luminal diameter, th...

the japanese and english white quails are widespread strains and belongs to the galliformes order, phasianidae family, coturnix genus  and japonica species. these birds are likely to be well-adapted to the hard conditions and resistance to diseases as it has attained economic importance as an agricultural species. in the current study, the genetic variation of japanese and english white  quail ...

Precocial avian hatchlings are typically highly social and show strong species-typical preferences for the maternal calls of their own species. The influence of social contingencies on the acquisition of species-specific preferences has, however, largely been neglected. We found that exposing bobwhite (BW) quail chicks to a Japanese quail (JQ) call contingent on their own vocalizations for 5 mi...

the japanese quail has been utilized as a research species in establishing the genetic relationships that may also be present in other species. divergent phenotypic selection for 4-wk bw was conducted for three generations in high (hw) and low (lw) lines. within each line, 50 females and 25 males were selected among 600 birds, based on 4-wk bw. mean bw at 4 wk of age in the base generation was ...

a total of 240 japanese quail chicks (1 d old) were used in a 42-d trial to study the effects of artichoke leaf powder and vitamin e on growth performance and meat quality. this experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with 4 replicates of 15 quails in each, using a 4×2 factorial arrangement with diet and gender as the main effects. four dietary treatments were formulated by a...

colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic escherichia coli (apec) is an economic threat to the poultry industry throughout the world. some of the virulence genes may enhance the ability of e. coli isolates to grow in the tissues of broilers. the apec strains are assigned to a few distinct phylogenetic groups. the purpose of the present study was to detect the virulence genes and phylogenetic gr...
